Ardor Bull Run Handicap

35-race maiden (bumper/hurdles/Flat) but she posted a good effort when runner-up at Musselburgh (1m4f, first-time cheekpieces) 24 days ago; removal of headgear not an obvious positive but stays this trip and finds herself in a weak contest.

Won his fourth race at this track and third over C&D when scoring at 28-1 last Thursday on his return from a break; 5lb penalty doesn't leave him well in but this is a weak event.

Comfortable winner of a selling handicap at Beverley (1m4f) on the back of wind surgery in July; mid-division over C&D (40-1) in a Racing League event next time; this is considerably easier, to put it mildly.

0-11 and modest form, beaten 5l in a 1m2f classified here (first-time tongue-tie; stays further) last time; first go at this trip.

Runner-up twice in a row over hurdles in the spring; hasn't run badly back on the Flat and went down by a head at Ripon (2m, good to firm) 24 days ago; a player in this company.
